(Porter, M. E. (1998) Clusters and the new economics of competitiveness. Harvard Business) The present stage of evolution of the human society is characterized by an unprecedented development of tourism, materialized in the inclusion of new and new regions in its range of capitalization. Therefore, not without reason, some researchers consider tourism as the most dynamic world industry of the 21-st century, which we have just entered only a decade ago. The first condition to develop leisure activities is the existence of attractive resources, the “raw material” which, by means of adequate planning, may become a proper supply. Apart from the attractions, an importance that should not be neglected is held by the position of the country compared to the general orientation of international tourism flows, the size of the domestic tourism market, the stage of economic and social development, the specialized infrastructure, the tradition of tourism activities , implementation of cluster policy, etc. Sustainable development is a global and long-term challenge. Sustainability for tourism as for other industries has three independent aspects: economic, socio-cultural and environmental. Sustainable development implies permanence, which means that sustainable tourism requires the optimal use of resources (including biological diversity), minimizing the negative economic, socio-cultural and ecological impact, maximizing benefits of local communities, national economies and conservation of nature. As a consequence, sustainability also refers to the management structures needed to meet these goals. The goal of achieving sustainable tourism should be subordinated to national and regional plans of economic and social development. Actions may cover for economic goals (income growth, diversification and integration of activities, control, development potentiating and zoning), social goals (poverty and income distribution inequality improvement, indigenous socio-cultural heritage protection, participation and involvement of local communities) or environmental goals (protection of tourism functions, conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity). Some experts prefer to speak about sustainable tourism development rather than sustainable tourism, the first referring to all aspects of development, and the second to some aspects and components of tourism – such as long distance air transport that may easily not be sustainable under current technologies, even using the best practices. With respecting and promoting the principles of sustainable development, tourism is a means of protection, conservation and capitalization of the cultural, historical, architectural and folklore potential of countries. Among the global competition for markets, the chances of the economic success of one country or one region are based on the specialisation of the offer and the focus on the development effort of key-fields, where there are competitive advantages, resources and competences. In this context, the innovative clusters in tourism are a successful solution because they offer a combination of entrepreneurial dynamism, intense connections between companies and institutions, which hold top knowledge, respectively pro-active synergies between the main actors of innovation(Fallon, P. and Schofield, P. (2009 )and Mazilu, M.,2010) At the level of the European Union, the innovative clusters are considered the “engine” of the economic development and innovation, these representing a very good frame for the development of business, for the collaboration between companies, universities, research institutions, suppliers, clients and competitors located in the same geographical area (local, regional, national, cross-national). In recent years there has been a growing interest in the role of location in the global economy. Some have argued that globalization is rendering the significance of location for economic activity increasingly irrelevant (O’Brien, 1992; Cairncross, 1997; Gray, 1998). Others, however, espouse the opposite view, that globalization is actually increasing rather than reducing the importance of location, that it is promoting greater regional economic distinctiveness, and that regional economies rather than national economies are now the salient foci of wealth creation and world trade (Ohmae, 1995; Coyle, 1997, 2001; Krugman, 1997; Storper, 1997; Porter, 1998a; Scott, 1998, 2001; Fujita et al., ISBN: 978-1-61804-097-8 12 Latest Advances in Biology, Environment and Ecology 2000, Ron Martin & Peter Sunley,2003,Mazilu,M,2010). The innovative clusters in tourism, must not act only regionally, (ex .Turinn- Cluster, in Mehedinti County) but they must look for excellence where it is possible, and on an international level there are few that work alone. The public institutions must be opened to the granting of the necessary support for the innovative clusters.

ISBN: 978-1-61804-097-8 13 Latest Advances in Biology, Environment and Ecology Plenary Lecture 2 Inventing the Future through Green Management and Innovation Assistant Professor Davorin Kralj Faculty of Organization Studies Novo mesto, Slovenia E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The dawn of the twenty-first century, sustainable business development is coming of age. Leading global corporation are embracing sustainable business development as a strategic framework for integrating their business enterprises, creating innovative solutions to the complex needs and requirements of the business environment, and thinking strategically about leading change. Sustainable outcomes are those that balance the performance objectives of the present with needs and expectations of the future. “Green” innovation, management and leadership integrates the full spectrum of social, economic, quality, environmental, market, technological, business excellent, and management responsibilities and realities into a global corporate management system, organizational development, organizational structure, organizational and innovation processes and whole responsibilities from top to down. With these aspects we could talk about “greenovate” organizational development. Integrated system approach integrates the requirements of sustainable green development and environmental excellence with other business requirements. Consequently, following a holistic approach to competitiveness, it is of utmost importance to consider all the relevant factors of competitiveness. These factors could be subdivided into systemic and enterprise thinking, visionary green management and leadership, green production processes management, product and technological innovation, sustainable management and business/environmental excellence. Moreover, competitiveness is the basis for successful company performance as well as for a future better quality of life. Inventing the future through green management and innovation requiring systems thinking and integrated system approach to sustainable management.

ISBN: 978-1-61804-097-8 14 Latest Advances in Biology, Environment and Ecology Plenary Lecture 3 Strategies of Automotive Powertrain Development for Diminishing Local and Global Environmental Impacts Professor Corneliu Cofaru Automotive and Mechanical Engineering Department Mechanical Engineering Faculty Transilvania University of Brasov Romania E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: This research paper presents an overview of strategies for developing automotive powertrains focused on emission controlling related to motor vehicles and road traffic to diminish local and global pollution. Individual mobility and modern freight transport means, well-being, quality of life, freedom, social and cultural inclusion are influenced by the quality of transport.The mobility of tomorrow will be more efficient: environment-friendly, quieter, safer and it will use clean resources. Highly efficient, innovative powertrain technologies and alternative fuels will play a central role in this respect. Effective powertrain scenarios must meet multiple objectives, such as: • Preservation or increase of power train’s energetic parameters; • Drastic reduction of chemical pollutants and noise emissions; • Reduction of CO2 emissions in order to diminish the impact on climate changes; • Providing security of fuel supply; • Developing an effective sustainable mobility policy. Developing a strategic balance between different power train technologies: ICEs vs. Hybrid vs. Electric Vehicle. Starting from the fact that conventional fuels based on petroleum will continue to be in the front of line of mobility in the coming years, due to the. main properties consisting in the extremely high energy density, ensuering large distances covered by using a relatively small volume of fuel, the simplest scenario remains to develop more efficient combustion engine technology. Other secenarios providing the introduction of electric vehicles on the market will encompass: hybrids (micro, mild, full and plugin hybrid electric vehicle – PHEV), range extender electric vehicles (REEV), battery electric vehicles (BEV) and fuel cell vehicles (FCV). As an alternative solution, the hydrogenpowered vehicles able to be a contribution to climate’s protection can be mentioned. Using hydrogen technologies is necessary to establish a balance between ICEs and FCV, taking into account the advantages and disadvantage of both solutions. The security of fuel’s supply and the reduction of chemical pollution. It can be obtained by using alternative fuels. Such alternative fuels can be: methan (NGV); LPG; biofuels as methyl or ethyl esters (biodiesels), biogases (digester gas, wood gas, gas from biomass gasification, ...), alcohols from biomass (methanol, ethanol, ...), vegetable oils, animal fats, etc., or even hydrogen. The decrease of the net greenhouse gas emissions (CO2) can be obtained using active technologies determining the decreasing of fuel consumption or changing the fuel’s nature and characteristcs. Biofuels constitute a central pillar of sustainable mobility. They have the advantage of not requiring essentially new engines or a new infrastructure, since they can be added to fossil fuels in a controlled form. Define a conclusive mobility concept. The decision-makers should ensure the sustainable transport policy for economic growth and efficient environmental protection by adopting the appropriate measures, such as: excellent transport routes; intelligent traffic systems (particularly, real-time traffic information, dynamic parking space management, fleet management systems and powertrain assistance systems, ICT in logistics).

ISBN: 978-1-61804-097-8 15 Latest Advances in Biology, Environment and Ecology Plenary Lecture 4 New building materials by eco-sustainable recycling of industrial waste Professor Mihai Cruceru Energy Department, Engineering Faculty "Constantin Brancusi" University of Targu-Jiu Romania E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The amount of natural materials used to manufacture building materials is limited and the costs of obtaining them are increasing. Regarding this, it was a continuous concern to find alternative materials for buildings, and industrial waste is one of such category. In the south of Romania there are many areas where were deposited large amounts of industrial waste coming from coal, oil and natural gas extraction, metallurgical companies and energy industry. These landfills are sources of environmental pollution and they are also a danger to population health and a threat to flora and fauna from surrounding areas. University"Constantin Brancusi" from Targu-Jiu is the coordinator of the ECOWASTES LIFE+ project, whose aim is to demonstrate that the recycling of waste from energy industry (coal combustion waste), petroleum extraction (drilling mud) and metallurgy (steelmaking slag) is a technically feasible alternative, taking into account that: - Coal combustion waste (ash and slag) can replace up to 30-50% of natural quartz sand used in the process of ceramics, - Drilling fluids waste (sintered material) can replace about 25% of clay used for classical bricks - Metallurgical slag can replace about 50% of necessary CaO. By using the different types of industrial wastes mentioned above, the following results are expected: fabrication of new building materials, reducing landfills and preserving important mineral resources. Brief Biography of the Speaker: Mihai CRUCERU, born on 02.07.1967 in Targu-Jiu, Romania, graduated from Installations for Buildings Faculty, Technical University of Civil Engineering Bucharest (1991), where he obtained also his PhD (1998).

Comparative analysis Professor Mihaela Hnatiuc Maritime Constanta University Romania E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The way in which working, or having a job in today’s society is seen tells a lot about it, and about the people it includes. Generally speaking, Romanians, but also people from other countries see work as a defining component. Exactly from that need to work and live a decent life it has been observed that the physician migration phenomenon in Romania has escalated, with remarkable performance from the number of people involved, from their results and methods of migration.
